Mo Xuemin received the message from the fifth princess at dusk. She sneaked out of the back door under the cover of darkness and got into an inconspicuous carriage parked on the roadside. The carriage took her through several turns and came to a Exquisite gold jewelry store, below the gold jewelry store, the latest hairpins, rings, bracelets and pendants are displayed on the counters.
Although it was late in the evening, it was not deserted. There were still some ladies and ladies choosing accessories.
A nun in her forties or fifties was waiting at the door. When Mo Xuemin came down, she glanced at her proudly and motioned for her to follow. After turning around, she walked down a narrow corridor on the right. There was a small staircase there. The lamp was even more inconspicuous, and Mo Xuemin followed him up the stairs in the dark.
Turning up the stairs, a field of white flowers suddenly lit up in front of me!
Mo Xuemin blocked her eyes with her sleeves, and then she saw clearly that there was a box-style door in front of her. Several large palace lanterns were hung at the door. Four palace maids in gorgeous clothes stood respectfully at the door. A round-faced palace maid saw Mo Xuemin came up and shouted coldly: "Wait outside."
Mo Xuemin had been standing outside for half a cup of tea when the round-faced palace maid came out and said, "Princess, let you in."
Mo Xuemin didn't dare to say anything, she bowed her head respectfully and went inside.
Mo Xuemin had met the fifth princess, the queen's only biological daughter, from a distance, but had never spoken to her. Therefore, after kneeling down to salute, she saw the gorgeous glazed skirt that shone like clouds.
"I heard that your third sister is very familiar with Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai once went to Mo Xuetong's boudoir to see a doctor?" The fifth princess asked softly, putting her hand on a pearl chain.
Mo Xuemin did not dare to be hasty, and answered carefully: "The last time Third Sister was ill, I actually invited Mr. Bai to come. Because Third Sister was unconscious, Mr. Bai specially stayed until she woke up before leaving. Then It was already very dark by then.”
That time, Mo Xuemin specifically asked the person Aunt Fang arranged to stay in Mo Xuetong's garden, so she knew the details.
"Do the two of them have any contact in normal times?" The shining pearls couldn't match the jealousy in those deep eyes. She was a royal princess, and she was not even one or two points taller than that woman. Why did my cousin never do that? He cares about himself, but gives that care to such a woman who is far inferior to him.
"My daughter, I don't know if they have any contact with each other. Third sister has always been very cautious, and it is impossible for my daughter to find out, but there is one thing..." Mo Xuemin seemed to hesitate for a moment.
"Say!" The cold scolding was accompanied by the sound of the string of pearls being slapped on the table. With a bit of fierce anger, Mo Xuemin shuddered and said anxiously: "When we entered the city that day, it was Young Master Bai who helped Third Sister solve the problem. Wei, I wonder if they were related at that time!"
Although it was just a guess, two selfish charges were pinned on Mo Xuetong. Although Mo Xuetong lowered her head and had a cold smile on her lips, she did not believe that Mo Xuetong could still fight against the princess. It is not a secret among noble ladies that the princess prefers Bai Yihao. As long as he is exploited a little, how can the arrogant fifth princess tolerate it
She bet that the fifth princess would never let Mo Xuetong have an easy time.
"You are so outrageous, Mr. Bai, you, a bitch, can't comment on that." The string of round pearls on the table was slapped down without any thought, and hit Mo Xuemin hard on the forehead, causing her to be blinded all of a sudden. , kowtowed hurriedly and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare! I only obey the princess's orders and tell the truth."
My white and tender forehead was red and swollen, but I didn't dare to stop.
Seeing the respectful and fearful look on her face, the fifth princess softened her expression slightly and said in a satisfied voice, "Stop it. Tell me what do you want me to do for you?"
"I don't dare to ask for more, I just hope that I can follow Her Royal Highness the Princess." Mo Xuemin felt happy in her heart, and her heart that was hanging high could not help but let go gently. With the fifth princess coming forward, even if her father wanted to send him to Sima Lingyun It's not that easy in the house, how could she let herself become Sima Lingyun's woman without any reason.
After this incident, Zhenguohou Mansion will only become more and more ruined. If she had a crush on the graceful Sima Lingyun before, now she feels as sad as swallowing a fly when she thinks of Sima Lingyun. A stupid and incompetent man is definitely not the man she wants to marry. Moreover, with the situation of Zhenguo Hou Mansion getting worse and worse, Sima Lingyun is not qualified to be a backup.
She must not marry Sima Lingyun and die together with the old Zhen Guohou...
Of course, she also knew that for someone like the fifth princess who had always been aloof, she might not be successful if she begged her directly, so she simply expressed her loyalty to the fifth princess first. If the fifth princess wanted to deal with Mo Xuetong, she would be the best person in her hands. If she wants to use a good knife, she must protect herself.
"The pearls are my reward for you." The fifth princess stood up without hesitation, her gorgeous dress swept across Mo Xuemin's face indifferently and disdainfully, and she turned around and walked out with all the palace people Shiran, leaving only The next string of shining pearls fell into the dust.
Picking up the pearl, Mo Xuemin's face flashed with a look of sullenness. Aunt Fang still had a chance, and so did she! And this is the only time!
Qingwei Garden
Mo Lan distributed the small items that Mo Xuetong brought in the garden. Not only did each person get a silver reward of one tael, but they also received a sachet. Whether it was the maid or the mother-in-law, each person received two jasmine flowers. , the servants were generally overjoyed to see several big maids coming out, and they were very affectionate. Some women took leave of absence from Mother Xu because they were anxious to bring Juanhua to their daughters.
Mo Xuetong rested for a while, then listened to the maid's report, the master is here!
He hurriedly stood up to greet her, and when he reached the door, Mo Huawen came in through the curtain. He looked good and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Tong'er, the house has been so deserted these days, and the old lady doesn't feel comfortable spending the New Year here. So the day after tomorrow, I'll call all my relatives in Beijing to have a lively party together."
Ever since Lan Xinru's incident happened, the old lady had seen him with a nose that was not a nose, and eyes that were not eyes, and she always moaned and groaned, which made Mo Huawen feel guilty. No matter what, it was rare for the old lady to be here with him. During the New Year, you have to live more comfortably.
Mo Xuetong coquettishly brought a cup of tea to Mo Huawen herself, placed it in front of him, and suddenly said abruptly: "These fathers have the final say, but the incense stick that Tong'er asked you to return to Aunt Xu Yan last time Is the bag still there? Aunt Xu Yan asked me this morning, she still didn’t believe you when you said you had returned it all!”
The sachet was later used to deal with the old lady, how could he return it
Mo Huawen's face turned red uncomfortably, and he drank tea to block the embarrassing color.
He coughed and said, "I don't know where I put the sachet. I couldn't find it after I left Tong'er's yard last time."
"Then what should we do?" Mo Xuetong said seriously with clear watery eyes, "How important is the reputation of my daughter's family? If it is taken away by a traitor, Aunt Xu Yan's life will be ruined!"
"It can't be such a coincidence." Mo Huawen coughed again.
"Why not? This is a matter of life and death. No, father, Tong'er has to go look for her." Mo Xuetong stood up, with an anxious look on his face, "Father said he was gone just after he walked out of Tong'er's yard. , maybe it’s in the garden, and even if it’s not in the garden, it should be in the mansion, maybe we can’t let the servants in the mansion go look for it together.”
After saying that, he wanted to go out and give orders to Mo Lan.
"Tong'er, don't be anxious." Mo Huawen grabbed Mo Xuetong's sleeve and concealed it, "Since you are worried that your aunt's reputation will be damaged, why do you make such a big fuss? If anyone knows about it, it will really become a big deal. Woe to you."
Why doesn't Mo Huawen know where the sachet is? Isn't it at the old lady's place? Lan Xinru's incident made him angry and furious. The old lady came and told him that Lan Xinru was best suited to be the mistress of Mo Mansion. Mo Huawen was so angry that he took out the sachet and said, He said that this was the woman in his mind, but Miss Lan was not a good match for him, which made the old lady so angry that she almost fainted.
After that, the old lady took the sachet away and said how could he, a dignified official of the imperial court, do such an immoral thing with a woman in private. She didn't care at the time, just thinking that he had blocked the old lady's forced marriage. At this moment, Mo Xuetong suddenly asked him for a sachet. Where could he go to get it
What's more, if Mo Xuetong is looking for sachets in the yard, the old lady will definitely know about it, and she will force him to marry Lan Xinru!

"But if I don't look for it, what should I do?" Mo Xuetong pouted her face and said displeasedly.
"It's okay, I'll come, I'll find it secretly." Mo Huawen broke into a cold sweat and smiled dryly. No matter how he looked for it, the old lady would never return it to him. At that time, he thought he had escaped, but now he Knowing that it is one more calamity.
"Then father, please hurry up. I heard that my grandmother is going to choose a marriage for Aunt Xu Yan. Don't wait until you have chosen a marriage. If you spoil Aunt Xu Yan's marriage, you have to be responsible for it, father." Mo Xuetong looked worried. Seeing his father uneasy and sweating on his head, a smile flashed in his eyes, but then his face remained calm and he still stared at Mo Huawen in panic.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just responsible." Mo Huawen's face became more and more unnatural, and he laughed dryly. He didn't understand what Mo Xuetong meant clearly, so he kept agreeing.
"Father is really responsible for Aunt Xu Yan?" Mo Xuetong's anxious face showed, and she shouted with joy, "That's great. If father marries aunt, with her temperament, she will definitely treat her Tong'er is fine, Tong'er doesn't have to worry about her mother making things difficult for Tong'er or bullying Tong'er in the future."
"Oh..." Mo Huawen was speechless and couldn't react.
"Father, if my aunt becomes a mother, my aunt can come and accompany Tong'er. Ever since my mother died, Tong'er has been so scared to be alone." He raised his foggy eyes, a pair of bright eyes filled with moisture and sadness, Although he pursed his lips to reveal a gentle smile, it made Mo Huawen's heart ache.
Tong'er didn't have a mother to care for, and she didn't have time to spend with her. How could those aunts treat her sincerely
His heart softened, and he reached out to hold her in his arms, patted her gently, and comforted her softly: "If Tong'er likes Aunt Xu Yan, can you let her come into the house to accompany Tong'er?"
That gentle little woman is polite and generous, and she doesn't act like a nymphomaniac like Lan Xinru when she meets him. She is indeed a good choice. Besides, she is also sincere to Tong'er. She has been by Tong'er's side these days, I tried my best. The last time I came in, I could hear Tong'er's laughter as soon as I walked through the courtyard door. It was so relaxed and happy. It had been a long time since I heard Tong'er laugh so happily!
Thinking of this, I already had a plan in mind. Now that things are like this, let's choose her!
"Thank you, father!" Mo Xuetong, who was lying in Mo Huawen's arms, showed a proud and charming smile, her pink face blooming like a flower. (To be continued)
